THE decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of the convicted anarchists
was announced on Wednesday after
noon of last week, and published in
full in the Chicago papers of Thursday.
It affirms the verdict of the lower court,
and appoints the execution for Nov. IL.
The decision is an elaborate document
filling over thirty columns in the close
type of the Tribune. 1t was written by
Justice Magruder, of Chicago, and ex-
amines the voluminous record of the
evidence in Judge Gary's court, step
by step, and point by point, and finds
no error in the court below to warrant
another trial. The decision has been
widely approved throughout the coun-
try, and endorsed by the highest legal
talent of the State. There will be an
attempt made to carry the case to the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
but it is not generally believed that
ground will be found for its interfer-
ence. An appeal to Governor Oglesby
for a communication of the sentence to
imprisonment for life, will also be made.
Here again it is extremely doubtful If
there will be any interference with the
verdict of the court. The awful shad-
ow of the gallows rests upon the con-
demned men, and it looks at present as
if there was no chance for respite or
appeal,
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-09-24

IN the meantims the sympathizers
with anarchy in all parts of the coun-
try are making the vilest threats as to
what will ensue if these men are made
to suffer the extreme penalty of the
law. Such loud-mouthed ruffians as
Herr Most, of New York, are foaming
at the mouth with rage, and endeavor-
ing to scare few old women and chill
dren with their murderous and vindic-
tive threatenings. These friends are
indeed the worst enemies of the con-
demned msn at this juncture. If the
anarchists have any remaining infu-
ence it should be exerted to repress
these scoundrels. 1t only makes the
end more certain. Executive clemency
in Illinois will not be encouraged or
fastened by such proceedings; and the
best service the anarchists and socialists
can render to their condemned brethren
is to stop these lawless and frantic pro-
ceedings.

FIRST DAY.-FRIDAY, SEPT. 8.


This was one of September's lowell
est days. AT the hour appointed for
the Convention to assemble, many low
ers of the faith gathered in the church,
and after cordial greetings, the Conven-
ton was called to order by the Secre-
tary, Rev. G. H. Rogers, of Hutchin-
son. In the absence of the president
and vice-president, Rev. Josiah Davis
was chosen President. Rev. G. l..
Demarest, d. D., General Secretary,
invoked the divine blessing. Rev. 7.
W. Woodrow, of Mop herson, was chosen
assistant Secretary. Rev. ]. M. Johns,
of Salina, Thomas Edmondson, and
Miss Jennie Brown, were appointed
Committee on Credentials. A recess
was taken and an impromptu confer
ence meeting was held. AT the close a
quorum was reported, and after recog-
nizing all Universalists present as men,
bers of the Convention, and giving all
ministers of the gospel the privilege of
the floor, the topic of the hour was
called, viz. ;"How shall Missionary Work
be done in Kansas Shall we organ
ize a State Missionary Society ?" This
topic was to be introduced by a paper
by c. V. N. Smith, of Topeka. Mr..
Smith was not present, but the Con-
vention proceeded to discuss the topic.
Earnest rem arks were made by Rev. j.
Davis. He advocated State Mission
airy; and also that the Convention
raise missionary fund, and send out a
live man to preach and organize. He
had been travelling through several
States, and has not found a better
State than Kansas for missionary work.
1t seemed to him that now is the time,
and we must work or lose our opportu-
nifty. Rev. Mr.. Johns said that he
went to see the first Universalist min

use his influence for the enforcement of the
so-called prohibitory law. and for the aboli-
ton of the liquor traffic throughout the coun-
try.
(8) That we recommend The UNIVERSAL
Isr-a weekly paper-and Maword's Mega
ziRe-a monthly, both published at Chicago
to the universalists of Kansas as the de-
nominational periodicals of the west-well
worthy of their hearty support.
(9) That this Convention recommends
Lombard University, at Galesburg, ILL.,, to
the Universalsts of the State-both the Col
lege and the Divinity School, as a suitable
place for the education of their children, and
especially for the young men and women
who are seeking preparation for the work OF
the ministry.

THE KANSAS CONVENTION.

HUTCHINSON, KAN, Sept. 8, 1887.
On the evening previous to the open
ing of the Convention, Thursday, the
people, with the visitors who had arrived
that early, assembled in the Hutchin-
son church, and listened to discourse
from Br. John r. Carpenter, of the class
of 'S7, Lombard Divinity School, now
pastor at Delphos. Text: Luke xii.
54-56. Several delegates arrived dur
ing the service. Everything looked en-
couraging for a profitable session of
the Convention.

-"WHY should it be thought impossi-
ble," asks our friend, Mark Holroyd, of
Wyanet, ILL.,, "nay impossible that there
should be moral and spiritual activities
in the immortal state? The thought is
humane, rational, God-like. Casting the
eye over universal man, those called
saints even, as we'll as sinners, it seems
the most proper, necessary and merciful
thing to be done. Within the veil; width
or the forerunner is for us entered, even
Jesus, made an high priest forever after
the order OF Melchisedec,' are pregnant
words. They surely do not mean that
his activity there is the work of prevail
ing upon the Father to be merciful. It
is no light thing to limit the Holy One OF
Israel in the work of drawing those to
himself for whom he died, to a few brief
years of each ones much tempted life;
and this, too, in the face Of his own dec
laration, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth Old divines bring
an array of passages to prove that at
death the door is shut. But theologians
now are wary. They know better than
to expose their ignorance of true exegesis
in quoting, The harvest is past and the
summer is ended and we are Lot saved
and kindred passages. 1t suits their
purpose better now to brand the work of
Christ Within the veil as kind of purga-
tory, throwing over it the slur of Roman
ism. II moral and spiritual activities do
not obtain in the immortal state it is in
deed barren state; and if these activi-
ties are not helpful to those who need
help, there can be little Significance in
the words of Christ in respect to little
children, for the thought is unavoidable
that when he says, Their angels do al
ways behold the face of my Father which
is in heaven the words have respect to
the ennobling service of tutoring and
bringing into line our little ones who
have passed into that realm. Faith in
our God compels us to the conclusion
that he will not stop or reverse his work
ing for harmonious ends until all and
each one of his children are saved in him
through Christ"

In several places that we could name
in the South the believers in Universal
ism have banded themselves together
and hold services, never having heard
one Of our preachers and knowing moth
ing whatever of our church methods of
organization. In some of these places
we have preachers who serve the socie-
ties as labor of love, they themselves
never having had the privilege of formal
Christian fellowship. Arlington, KY, is
a casa in point, and from there we get
the following note, signed J. r. Trofford,
whose name is on our list as subscriber
to The UNIvERsALIsT:
''Rsv. or Br. J. G. Graves is preaching our
faith, aided by myself, and we have a church
of eleven members, with good prospect of
several others ere long. Br. Graves is the
only one that ever preached the doctrine in
our parts and we are much opposed. Please
pray for US; and when that half million of
money is on hand for missionaries, you could
not do better, perhaps, than to send us mis-
sionary. SO mote it be! Rev. J. @. Graves's
address is Bardwell, Carlisle county, Ky.
And now any inform alton you can give us
will be thankfully received and appreciated,
for we are ignorant of our church ritual, etc.,
and of course we want to be right. We have
organized church and mean business in
earnest"
Oar dee pest sym pathy goes out to these
brethren 80 far away from Universalist
companionship, and seldom or never
meeting those Of like precious faith who
regularly enjoy the preaching of the
word. Would indeed that the Barnum
fund of $500 900 was in hand, that mis-
sionary might be placed in every State,
and well supported, to hunt up these
scattered believers and give them in
struction in matters of organization and
minister tn them in the things of the Cos
pei. All over the land we have neigh
borhoods where such instruction and
preaching is needed. Yes, we need the
Missionary Fund for just such cases as
this at Arlington.

resented in anything but favorable
light by those who hoped for a miscar-
rage OF justice in this now celebrated
case. The court, we are informed was
influenced by public opinion, sacrificed
Justice to popular clamor and their decis-
ion represented as only the echo of the
"capitalietic press" No doubt every one
OF these judges, in the estimation of the
Anarchists and the slightly concealed
Anarchists Of advanced Socialism, de-
serve themselves to suffer the fate they
have endorsed for the convicted instigat-
ors OF the massacre of May 4, 1886. But
very few are misled by the outpouring of
hate and disappointment. The Illinois
Supreme Court is composed of learned,
upright and venerable judges, and their
decision is widely approved throughout
the country. Had the result of their de-
hberations been to reverse the decision

pie would have been disappointed, their

occasional services in their respective local

Der of active ministers to locate and work in
our State.
(3) That We urge upon all licentiate and
ordained ministers in the State to be instant
in season and out of season, preaching the
word; and other members of our household
of faith, both men and women, whom God
has blessed with the gift of utterance, to use
that gift in the propagation of the God-ap-

that it ia the duty of every Uniyersalist to
